Since we are all full of microplastics, does that mean we are part dinosaur?

I'd say no, because the microplastics aren't really a part of our DNA. But that's just my definition.

I think we could say that we all have dinosaurs inside us, just like our pesky skeletons.

But aren't like 50% of cells in your body bacteria? I'd say those are considered part of you. But I get what you are saying.
